Akua Donkor, the founder and leader of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), passed away on the evening of Monday, 28 October, at Ridge Hospital in Accra.
Her running mate for this campaign was Kwabena Agyekum Appiah Kubi, popularly known as ‘Roman Fada.’ Kubi mentioned to 3 News, “She has not been well for the past few days, so we sent her to the Nsawam Government Hospital on Saturday.”
Having previously contested in two elections, Donkor was listed as the third candidate on the ballot for the 2024 presidential race.
Her political journey began as an assemblywoman for Herman, and she launched her first presidential bid in 2012 as an independent candidate.
In the same year, she founded the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), aiming to advocate for the rights of Ghana’s poor and marginalised, driven by her longstanding ambition to become Ghana’s president.
